Rouen Duck Egg

[Zelda2121]

I have thirteen more days left and I'm already seeing a baby. On pictures online there is supposed to be a black mass. I'm assuming egg candling pictures can vary. It's my first time incubating so I'm hoping for the best. I can try to post pictures. Also I turn the eggs every three hours starting at eight in the morning. The temp is 37 degrees Celsius and the humidity is 88%. I have gotten approval from two duck experts. Is there anything else I need to do? Thank you so much and have a blessed Wednesday!!

Would love to see some candling pics, if you get some taken.

I would have to disagree with your experts on 88% humidity. That's awfully high for incubating. It will be very hard for them to lose enough moisture with it that high.
This article on humidity may help you.
